display. The rear camera view will be
replaced by the front camera view after
shifting from R (Reverse) to a forward gear,
or when the vehicle is moving forward
slower than approximately 12 km/h (8 mph).
Park Assist
The vehicle may be equipped with Rear Park
Assist (RPA). Under certain conditions, the
Park Assist system can assist the driver
during backing and reverse parking
maneuvers when the vehicle is driven at no
more than 9 km/h (6 mph).
Sensors located in the bumpers measure the
distance between the vehicle and objects
using sonar technology. These sensors are
designed to detect certain objects up to
2.5 m (8 ft) behind your vehicle that are
taller than 25 cm (10 in).
Different environmental conditions may
affect whether and how far the Park Assist
system can detect objects. Keep the sensors
clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush; and
clean sensors after a car wash in freezing
temperatures. Sensors that are not clean
may not detect objects or may cause the
system to alert when not required.
{Warning
The Park Assist System is no substitute
for careful and attentive driving. The Park
Assist system does not detect children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or that are too
close or too far from the vehicle. It is not
available at speeds greater than 9 km/h
(6 mph). To prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with Park Assist,
always check the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before moving
forward or backing.
How the System Works
The vehicle may have a Park
Assist amphitheatre-like display on the
cluster with bars that represent the
estimated location of a detected object and
the vehicle’s distance from the object. As a
detected object becomes closer, more bars
light up and change color from yellow to
amber to red.
When an object is first detected in the rear,
one beep will be heard from the rear, or the
driver's seat will pulse two times,
if equipped with Safety Alert Seat. When an object is very close, five beeps will sound
from the rear, or the driver's seat will pulse
five times.
Turning the System On and Off
The Park Assist System can be turned on or
off using the infotainment system. See
Vehicle Personalization
0102.
Turn off Park Assist when towing a trailer to
prevent unwanted beeps and when a bike
rack is attached to ensure proper operation.
When the System Does Not Seem to Work
Properly
If a service message displays, check the
following conditions:
.The sensors may not be clean. Keep the
vehicle's front and rear bumpers free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush. For
cleaning instructions, see Exterior Care
0 266.

15082216) - 2022 - CRC - 6/25/21
192 Driving and Operating
.The Park Assist sensors may be covered
by frost or ice. Frost or ice can form
around and behind the sensors and may
not always be seen; this can occur after
washing the vehicle in cold weather. The
message may not clear until the frost or
ice has melted.
If a service message displays and the above
conditions do not exist, take the vehicle to
your dealer for repairs.
If the Park Assist System does not activate
due to a temporary condition, a system off
message is shown on the display. This can
occur under the following conditions:
.The driver has disabled the system.
.An object is currently blocking the rear
sensors (for example, bike rack, tailgate,
trailer hitch, etc.). Once the object is
removed, Park Assist will return to normal
operation.
.The bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle
to your dealer for repairs.
.Other conditions, such as vibrations from
a jackhammer or the compression of air
brakes on a very large truck, are affecting
system performance.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
System
If equipped, Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
displays a red warning triangle with a left
or right pointing arrow on the infotainment
display to warn of traffic coming from the
left or right. This system detects objects
coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left
or right side of the vehicle. When an object
is detected, three beeps sound from the left
or right, depending on the direction of the
detected vehicle.
Use caution while backing up when towing
a trailer, as the RCTA detection zones that
extend out from the back of the vehicle do
not move farther back when a trailer is
attached to the vehicle.
Turning the Features On or Off
Rear Park Assist (RPA) can be turned on and
off using the infotainment system. See
Vehicle Personalization 0102.
Turn off Park Assist and RCTA when towing
a trailer.
RCTA can be turned on or off using the
infotainment system. See “Collision/
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0102.
Assistance Systems for Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle in a
forward gear, Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keep
Assist (LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA),
Lane Change Alert (LCA), Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB), and/or the Front
Pedestrian Braking (FPB) System can help to
avoid a crash or reduce crash damage.
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System
If equipped, the FCA system may help to
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes. When approaching a
vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA provides a
red flashing alert on the windshield and
rapidly beeps. FCA also lights an amber
visual alert if following another vehicle
much too closely. FCA detects vehicles
within a distance of approximately 60 m
(197 ft) and operates at speeds above
8 km/h (5 mph).

296 Customer Information
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
.How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
.Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
.How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and,
.How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
Note
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only
if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location)
are recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
GM will not access these data or share it
with others except: with the consent of the
vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased,
with the consent of the lessee; in response
to an official request by police or similar
government office; as part of GM's defense
of litigation through the discovery process;
or, as permitted by law. Data that GM
collects or receives may also be used for GM
research needs or may be made available to
others for research purposes, where a need
is shown and the data is not tied to a
specific vehicle or vehicle owner.
OnStar
If the vehicle is equipped with OnStar and
has an active service plan, additional data
may be collected and transmitted through
the OnStar system. This includes informationabout the vehicle’s operation; collisions
involving the vehicle; the use of the vehicle
and its features, including infotainment; and
the location and approximate GPS speed of
the vehicle. Refer to the OnStar Terms and
Conditions and Privacy Statement on the
OnStar website.
